from 945.00

Our DARK BURL Mokume square rings are similar to the DARK WOOD pattern, with the added feature of a radiating whorl on opposite corners of the band. These two whorls are joined via a flowing diagonal woodgrain pattern. STEVEN JACOB was the first to utilize these difficult to work, space-age metals and pioneered the technology that makes it possible. Intricate design, patented cutting edge technology and a rugged natural look, makes this a wedding ring you will admire for decades.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

About the Square Band: Our customers are often quite surprised to find how comfortable our "square" band feels. Because the inside of the ring is perfectly round, and the outside is a rounded square, the ring naturally aligns itself so that the thinnest part of the ring is between your fingers. This section is actually thinner than the wall thickness of round bands and makes it super comfortable to wear. You will love turning this ring over and over to discover and enjoy the subtle nuances of the pattern design and unparalleled workmanship. Once you turn to the square side, you'll never go back!

Titanium and zirconium are lightweight, high-strength aerospace metals, making them extremely comfortable for those concerned with the weight of their ring. Using patented technology, Steven Jacob is the only company in the world making this unique metal combination. Starting with the two rich gray metals, we form and etch these rings and then use a molten salt bath treatment that transforms the surface of the zirconium into a black ceramic oxide. This is different than a chemical patina often used on jewelry, because the material is physically altered into a hard and durable surface. Variations of this process are used to create the strong bearing surfaces for many medical implants, and will not crack, chip or peel. Because the zirconium is acid etched before heating, the black lines are below the surface of the titanium which further protects from wear. The result is the hardest, most durable finish found on any ring.

The DARK BURL ring shown above is in our more rounded "Well Worn" style reminiscent of weathered wood. It is also available with crisp, radiused edges that gives the form of the ring a clean, more formal look.
